Welcome to Chaffee Park

At a time when veterans urgently wanted housing, Garret Bromfield, one of the subdivision builders of the time, complied. The entire Chaffee Park neighborhood is nothing but late 1940’s homes built to accommodate post-war, Denver growth. Small homes on neat lots make a community that’s fun to explore.
 
You can enjoy a great walk through Chaffee Park on this urban hiking adventure.
 
At the corner of 48th and Pecos was Denver’s first shopping center. It now houses a Save A Lot, Chaffee Drugs, Honey Bun Bakery, Horn Cleaners, a barber shop, a shoe repair shop, and a Blue Ribbon Market delicatessen.
 
Don’t confuse the neighborhood of Chaffee Park with the park named Chaffee Park, after the same Chaffee of this neighborhood. Chaffee Park Park is south of I70 in Sunnyside. Both were named after an original city founder and future Colorado Senator whose daughter married Ulysses S Grant’s son, yet the neighborhood doesn’t seem to reflect the political clout that Jerome Chaffee surely had.
 
One of Chaffee Park’s best features is the unnamed park at the corner of Zuni and 51st. With great views of downtown, this large park, commonly known as Zuni Park, has room for Frisbee playing and kite flying. Circling the park is a well-marked 3.5-mile Wellness Trail looping through the neighborhood on the way to nearby Regis.
 
Since 2017, the Skyline Festival has occurred here in the park. It’s a community event featuring: exercise, games, food trucks, potluck food sharing, children’s activities, booths from local community organizations and vendors, and live music.
